The Roaring Season

Chassis 3060 if a Steel bros. car would have been built in '76 and sorry 3995 doesn't seem to fit, is this the black car with yellow strip for sale at the moment?. Only NZ built cars seem to come with a wide body.

Trevor. The picture I sent has GR7169 sitting next tp GR7171.
Gr7169 reregistered as NR8468 and now FLP100 The car is now white and living in Christchurch which I think it always has done?

I sent it to your email last week, sent again at 9.30 this morning

I sent it to your email last week, I'll send it again

what info can you share on the two chassis numbers. 3060 is in the range for steel bro build cars, but 3995 doesn't in to the NZ or UK list of chassis numbers

The sump can't be removed with this cross member in place. To have the carbs on the same side as the exhaust a pre cross flow ...

I'll look the pictures out in the morning and post them. They arn't the best but maybe of some interest. I still have my first Seven which I've had since '77 and the remain of an others that we are in the process of rebuilding. All the sevens from Steels had L block motors, so I would think that it ...

PAul The Black car was built as you have it at Steels. IF I can figure out how I'll post a picture of it at the factory then later. Steels built 3 wide body cars with lotus twin cams, 1 red, 1 white and the black car. They also built a number of 907 powered cars that had wide bodies as well. The ...
